Non Resident Landlords

The scheme requires UK letting agents to deduct basic rate tax from any rent they collect for non-resident landlords. If non-resident landlords don’t have UK letting agents acting for them, and the rent is more than £100 a week, their tenants must deduct the tax. When working out the amount to tax the letting agent/tenant can take off deductible expenses.

Letting agents and/or tenants don’t have to deduct tax if HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) tells them not to. HMRC will tell an agent/tenant not to deduct tax if non-resident landlords have successfully applied for approval to receive rents with no tax deducted. But even though the rent may be paid with no tax deducted, it remains liable to UK tax. So non-resident landlords must include it in any tax return HMRC sends them.

Non-resident landlords who are eligible can apply at any time for approval to receive their UK rental income with no tax deducted. This includes applying before they have left the UK or before the letting has started.

The best agency I have ever dealt with. No issues at all. Professional customer service, very easy to get it touch and get a reply. Sensible fees and no extra charges. Would really recommend. Really sad that I had to leave.

I couldn't have made a better choice! I am a new tenant in Preston and Easthams made the whole experience with my move absolutely brilliant from the very first second. Highest level of professionalism and extremely helpful in all the steps of my move from Cornwall. I have to make a particular reference to Matt Bowyer, the agent who was mainly involved in my move. No words can describe his professionalism and willingness to help! He always made himself available for any question I had and sorted immediately everything that was needed. 5 star service in all aspects and a huge thank you Easthams and Matt for making this difficult move a very smooth one, really grateful!

Avoid as a Tennant if you can. You'll need to cover yourself with them, make sure you get everything in writing or they'll go back on their word. Also provided the best reason to not get my deposit so far "there is rubbish in your bin outside". Sorry but I didn't move out on bin day.

Why use anyone else these guys are top people nothing too much trouble and i found that any issues i had were promptly dealt with fuss free Ed in particular is very efficient at his job .............just give them a try and see for yourself!

We had two viewing with Eastham's and Co for rental properties in the Preston area. On both occasion's the staff from Eastham's came prepared with all the information we needed. The viewing where conducted in both a professional and friendly manner with out a "hard sell" approach. On the first viewing the lady who showed us around the house spoke very highly of the company and said she had found working with the company an absolute pleasure and this certainly came through in her approach to her work. We put an offer in on the second property and we where quickly contacted with all the information about the process and what we needed to do. Dawn was our point of contact through out this process and she kept us up to date with the progress and ensured everything moved along at an efficient pace whilst keeping us updated at every point possible. I couldn't recommend the company enough, they may the whole process as stress free as possible. Thank you.
